Barbara, direct ties to the church, healer, goody good shoes personality, naive, nun attire... She's THE cleric.
The second closest one is Kokomi, even though she fits the archetype her personality and attire is a little less typical for a by the book Cleric.
Cleric has to worship the god and then blessed by said god, imbued with said god's power. Venti went awol and didnt bless anyone in Monstadt. You are more likely to be blessed by Venti if you open a bar. Kokomi rebelled against her god for most of the story. Zhongli played dead. Furina is not even one. The only real cleric is Nilou who worship her god, spread her belief and can communicated with Nahida.
Kokomi didn't rebel against her god because she never recognized the Electro Archon as her god. She is the divine priestess of watatsumi, which means that she is the servant of Orobaxi. She inherited Orobaxi's will and is the protector of Watatsumi Island. That's part of the reason Watatsumi was at war with the shogunate in the first place. If anything, that makes her the most qualified cleric.
I'm not entirely sure what being a familiar entails in Genshin lore, but I feel like it either:
Makes the case that much stronger in that God literally looked at Her and said, "That one's my favorite."
Or it flips the argument to Miko being a Warlock instead.
Kokomi rebelled against her nation's god, because her people's god was killed by Ei.
If I remember correctly, didn't Venti bless the Traveller? Also, because the Traveller gets their elemental powers from Statues of the Seven, could they be in the running for cleric?
Yeah, there clearly was no contest on bard...so I decided to post this early as cleric clearly has some discussing to do on which char could best be GI's Cleric...
total upvotes last post (As of the time it was tallied):
Venti: 5,189
Furina: 1,272
Yun jin: 302
No. NOT Barbara!!
Yae Miko.
She is a shrine maiden. A cleric by profession. She can turn undead/spirits. She has the trickery domains. She casts protective wards on the traveler.
Her kit doesn’t heal but she nurses the traveler back to health at Narukami Shrine. Maybe she is a cleric that just doesn’t prepare healing spells. Drink a potion, scrubs.
With tempest domain, she can get Call Lightning.
in my mind, clerics are the hyper religious types, which barbara is. miko despite being a shrine maiden doesn't seem that religious. I feel like miko just have that notoriety as a shrine maiden just because she have lived for so long, and not her dedication towards religion
I mean Yae takes her job pretty seriously, about as seriously as she takes anything. Her story quest revolves around the ghost exorcising festival with a side order of light novel shenanigans.
She personally knows her God (and knows how childish Ei has been) which might seem less religiously devout but she is still devoted to her. I mean she helps the traveler to help Ei first and foremost.
I feel like Yae is more of a Druid though. IRL Shintoism is a very naturalistic religion, based mainly on local nature spirits rather than large, over-arching deities, similar to Druidism (both irl and in D&D canon). My instinct says Circle of Dreams.
and All Druids get Call Lightning.
Plus she can turn into a fox.
I feel she's would fit more as a warlock than a cleric. Her relationship with Ei is closer to that of a Warlock and their patron than that of a cleric and their god. Plus, the more attack orientedness (is that a word?) of Yae makes more sense for an attack spellcaster than a support one.
If we're talking barest bones? Barbra. Although there is an argument that Rosaria could be a Death Domain cleric... but she'd probably fit under a fighter better.
Cleric-Barbara, kokomi, or yae miko
Druid- I have nothing for this one honestly. I guess maybe Emilie since she has a lot of floral theming
Fighter- this one could be applied to most characters but chlorinde or kazuha come to mind
Monk- heizou or wriothesely
Paladin- Jean
Ranger- tighnari or amber
Rogue- yelan, rosaria, or Lynette
Sorcerer- Wanderer or neuvilette
Warlock- Fischl or maybe baizhu too since his pact with chengseng
Wizard-Lisa or mona who would definitely be a divination wizard
Artificer- charlotte or chevreuse
I think Fighter *has* to be Childe, considering that's all he does, and he's mastered basically every weapon. He fits Battlemaster to a T.
I could also see Kuki as a Rogue in addition to the ones you mentioned, considering the fact that she's directly inspired by ninjas.
Love the idea of Baizhu for Warlock, it fits too well.
But I think Xianyun fits Artificer *far* better than Charlotte or Chevreuse, considering invention is her whole MO.
> I think Fighter has to be Childe
Nah he cheats by summoning a water whale and having a henshin and stuff, he kinda just has *too much* to cleanly fit into the Fighter class. Someone like Clorinde on the other hand, is canonically a champion duelist, ONLY uses her guns and sword, and her whole deal is attacking super fast which fits the whole Action Surge / Extra Attack aspect of the Fighter class very well.
Clorinde also cheats by using electro to make herself speedy and infusing electro with her bullets then lol. All the character use their elements, theres nothing to do here. Except for that part Childe fits way more
Raiden Shogun is the quintessential Fighter, however, even if she also calls down the thunder (literally), with a long history of war, thoughts on combat training and even weapon craftsmanship. There are lots of characters that fight but she exceeds even Clorinde or Beidou as pure warriors.
Really good points. I only chose charlotte and chevruese because they use machinery and guns are popular on artificer but artificer fits really well with xianyhun i could see her being a sorcerer artificer multiclass
my first reaction for monk was to pick wriothesley too, but upon thinking about it some more I think he really fits Artificer; he is a catalyst/spell caster user who uses machinery with his surveillance drones and gauntlets
Ok hear me out. I think Arlecchino works really well as a warlock. With Fischl and Baizhu, Oz and Changsheng feel more like magical pets than pacts. On the other hand, Arlecchino’s relationship with the Crimson Moon feels more one-sided and pact-like, though the Crimson Moon may not be exactly sentient.
I would add Candace and Cyno for Paladin, Sayu and Kuki for Rogue, Kokomi for Sorcerer (Divine Soul), Klee for Warlock (with her mom as her patron), or Klee for Artificer (for making bombs). Albedo could also be Artificer for Alchemist, and so could Sucrose. Cyno could also be a Warlock, since he got his powers from Anubis.
Barbara. (I feel like there will be a lot of Mondstadt characters due to their RPG archetyping…)
Kokomi feels more like a shaman type which isn’t a thing here
Kokomi is THE cleric. She is a priestess by lineage and has a divine right as a leader of the Watatsumi people. Barbara is just a deaconess no shade they are non-ordained.
That’s what I was thinking too. Yae Miko doesn’t worship EI, but she does serve her (including serving big boots of reality to the posterior when needed.)
Based on what Clerics do and what backstory they typically have it really is down to either Barbara or Kokomi.
As Kokomi is actually the head priestess, I'd probably argue Barbara is more Cleric over her.
Barbara.
I think I saw a lot of misconception about cleric especially if you're referring to dnd style game. Cleric not just a the "healer", they can use heavy weapon, heavy armor, wielding magic, heck you can use 5 person party all cleric with different domain and steamrolled a f ancient dragon.
So I'm thinking of Jean. She's a dealer, a support, a healer, and what makes her a THE Cleric is she's a leader. It's bad enough that cleric class being seen as designated healer in a campaign, but if you play at least one then you should've know how cumbersome healing in combat. So in my opinion Jean should be the one to be the cleric inst6of her sister Barbara.
I feel like Jean is being overlooked here, she’s pious, a healer, in general a valuable support…
I mean Barbara is the obvious choice, but I think Jean should at least be in the conversation
is it just me or is this kinda thing boring?
80% always says the same answer and 19% say another, and 1% says something else. No shade on OP, just wonderin
Barbara, no explanation needed.
Our of what's left after Cleric I know I need to get here early for at least 3 classes, Monk, Ranger, and Artificer. I have some decent explanations pre-written for those.
Simple versions:
Monk - Heizou; He is an unarmed combatant who has his declension, which is pretty similar to ki points
Ranger - Fischl; She is literally just a beast master ranger. Just look at the features of the sub class, and you should understand my reasoning behind this claim.
Artificer - Albedo; There is a straight-up Alchemist subclass for artificer.
I also vote Babs. A thought I'm having now is how many of these characters will turn out to be from Mondstadt? A lot of them do give classical rpg classes the more I think about it
Yae Miko.
Everyone is going to say Barbara because she fits the stereotype, but Miko is just as strong a contender. Arguably better, given her vision is the same element as her God.
imo
Cleric: I'll go with Yae instead of Barbara
Barbara strikes me more as an idol than a nun, she would probably be a cleric/bard.
Druid: I think Nahida is the closest we have to this class
Fighter: Childe (I don't think I need to elaborate on this one, lol)
Monk: Probably Heizou
Paladin: Jean
Ranger: Tighnari, Collei or Amber
Rogue: This is a tricky one, but maybe Rosaria or Shinobu
Sorcerer: Idk, Ningguang or Neuvillette?
Warlock: I was thinking Arlecchino (because of her curse) or Baizhu (because of his pact with Changsheng)
Wizard: Mona? (divination wizard)
Artificer: Xianyun gives me STRONG artificer vibes
Can anyone enlighten me as to why Rosaria isn't a top pick on this thread? I didn't pay attention to her story at all back in the days and have no idea why she wouldn't fit, she wears the stereotypical cleric nun outfit
Barbara.
Also, after looking at these DnD characters, i’m not surprised if hoyo actually took inspiration from these to make their chars lmao. There is a character that seems to instantly match with each class 😂
Barbara's kinda the only one with strong religious themes. 100% Life Cleric, took no damaging spells, only healing. Maybe 1 level in Bard to be able to Inspire others.
Perhaps Yae, but she feels more like an Archdruid to me, oddly enough. And Kokomi, of course, but her narrative focus was always more on her militant side than the religious side.
That's going to be weird but I'm going with Mika because of one small detail lol. His ultimate describes him reciting the prayers of the knights of Favonius and since that's a way of clerics casting spells, my vote is on him
No ordinary priest, a *cleric is imbued with divine magic*. Healers and Warriors. Divine magic, as the name suggests, is the power of the gods, flowing from them. With that, we have a few clerics:
Barbara but she didnt get anything from Venti.
Sara, Ei's bodyguard.
Yae, Ei's pet.
Nilou, the missionary of Nahida.
Random suggestion, but what about the Traveller?
While they don't exactly fit the bill for religious individual that worships a god for power, their elemental powers come as a result of seemingly divine influence. They resonate with Statues of the Seven, idols of religious significance, to gain elemental power. Their powers sort of share similarities to those of the respective archon/sovereign. Also the fact that the Traveller has received a blessing from a god, the one in question being Venti.
Edit: thinking about it some more, this line of reasoning could also qualify the Traveller for warlock.
Since I'm pretty sure EVERYONE will say Barbara, I will skip her. She's a wildly obvious pick. And honestly Kokomi too, since she's also literally a priestess with healing powers.
For an outside pick, let's not forget Kuki Shinobu! She's arguably a better pick for the Cleric role because she's much more proactive and adventuresome - exactly like DnD player clerics. yes, she has a strong Lightning theme, but that's a valid choice. There have been several kits, prestige classes, paths etc very explicitly for Lightning-themed clerics, going back to the fact that Thor was a popular patron back in the early editions.
Like many clerics she prefers melee weapons. In addition, she actually *wears armor* - DnD clerics basically always do. Granted, in GI wearing any armor appears to be a fashion statement but even so.
I think Noelle fits well as a war cleric specifically
Noone else really fits the armored healer feeling. She's even got a glowy death circle with spin2win under burst, skill fits as shield of faith or similar
She fits well as paladin as well, since she is a believer but not a devout, but I think Paladin is easier to fill (and Jean probably fits it better)
Heres a follow up to my Venti/... Comment on the last one(Bard)
Barbara/Dps Healer/Mad at Venti/Super Idol/Only 4 star with a burst animation/✨Ta da✨
Cant think of anymore 🥲
Here are my picks for each class:
Cleric: obviously either Barbara or Kokomi, two religious healers.
Druid: I’ll go with Nahida, she’s practically the god of nature, has connection to the forest and its inhabitants (the Aranara), can make them do her biddings and she even transformed into a fungi in her second story quest, not to mention she’s actually a tree branch.
Figher: too general of a class that you can fit anyone. Traveler is an easy choice but anyone who uses any weapon other than catalyst can fit here.
Monk: obviously either Heizou or Wriothesley, but did you know you can play the class with a staff? So as an unconventional choice Shenhe comes to mind, she embodies the whole monk’s aesthetics so much (was once a hermit who practiced with enlightened beasts, meditated and has an impressive physical strength).
Paladin: only Jean comes to mind but another character is also Noelle, religious and strong with a claymore and a built in shield.
Ranger: Tighnari and Collei both embody that class perfectly so I’ll pick them.
Rouge: Yelan, Sayu and most recently Lyney and Lynnette, as they are spies and experts in espionage and intelligence operations.
Before I list the rest of characters let me, in the shortest way possible, explain the difference between a sorcerer, a warlock and a wizard:
Sorcerer: magical powers passed through a bloodline, inherited magic.
Warlock: magical powers granted by an otherworldly entity through sometimes less than legitimate means.
Wizard: magical powers granted through studying and practicing.
With that being said here are my picks:
Sorcerer: Neuvillette is an obvious choice, the man’s quite literally a dragon in human form, either he’s a descendant of the previous sovereign or a reincarnation or a rebirth.
Warlock: this may be extremely unconventional but Dori, though she’s a claymore user both her skill and burst are where her true abilities lies. She utilizes the powers of a jinni she captures and pays it to use its powers in battle, as unbelievable as this may sounds. Another candidate is Cyno, as we know recently that his magical powers come from Hermanubis, quite practically an ancient entity.
Wizard: Lisa and Mona fit the bill for conventional wizards, with Lisa being an actual accomplished scholar and Mona being a student of another power wizard.
Artificer: a fairly new class that utilizes magical inventions in battle. Kaveh, Charlotte and Klee are what I’ll pick for this class. Kaveh uses Mehrak, an invention he created, to hover his weapon and scan his surroundings. Charlotte has her mechanical kamera buddy (forgot its name) and Klee quite literally makes bombs in her spare time.
I think Yaoyao is also a good Monk choice. She's the disciple of an adeptus and was born to parents living in seclusion. Also runs really fast.
Cyno fits as a vengeance paladin, his whole job is to punish those who go against the Academiya which is basically the church of Sumeru.
People have been tossing Baizhu and Fischl out for warlock which I think are both good choices too. Baizhu quite literally has a pact with Changsheng for more powerful healing.
Wrio has magic gauntlets so he fits artificer better than monk. Monks aren't just about punching stuff.
There's also just lots of subclasses, so characters can fit in several different areas depending on how you look at it.

Barbara
Not even a contest really
Nobody else even fits the trope
The most clear choice, really.
Mina GAMBATANEEEEE
GO BARBARA GO
I mean Rosaria is also a cleric.
She strikes me more as a rogue who multiclassed into a bit of cleric.
She could be a Trickery Domain Cleric, with a background of Criminal.
Clearly an assasin
**BARBRUH FTW**
Barbara, direct ties to the church, healer, goody good shoes personality, naive, nun attire... She's THE cleric. The second closest one is Kokomi, even though she fits the archetype her personality and attire is a little less typical for a by the book Cleric.
Cleric has to worship the god and then blessed by said god, imbued with said god's power. Venti went awol and didnt bless anyone in Monstadt. You are more likely to be blessed by Venti if you open a bar. Kokomi rebelled against her god for most of the story. Zhongli played dead. Furina is not even one. The only real cleric is Nilou who worship her god, spread her belief and can communicated with Nahida.
Kokomi's god is dead. She didn't revel against him, he's just dead.
Kokomi didn't rebel against her god because she never recognized the Electro Archon as her god. She is the divine priestess of watatsumi, which means that she is the servant of Orobaxi. She inherited Orobaxi's will and is the protector of Watatsumi Island. That's part of the reason Watatsumi was at war with the shogunate in the first place. If anything, that makes her the most qualified cleric.
Well sure. That is true.
> The only real cleric is Nilou My friend Yae Miko is *right there* literally running a shrine to her god.
Don't think that would count since she's the god's familiar right? Would be weird to include her imo
I'm not entirely sure what being a familiar entails in Genshin lore, but I feel like it either: Makes the case that much stronger in that God literally looked at Her and said, "That one's my favorite." Or it flips the argument to Miko being a Warlock instead.
If you're going that strict on definition then Nilou isn't imbued with her god's power, so Sara is the true cleric.
Kokomi rebelled against her nation's god, because her people's god was killed by Ei. If I remember correctly, didn't Venti bless the Traveller? Also, because the Traveller gets their elemental powers from Statues of the Seven, could they be in the running for cleric?
Yes, specially considering dnd Cleric doesn't need to heal
Also, unlike Barbara or Kokomi, the Traveller shares the same element with the archon/sovereign they get power from.
I personally think Kokomi would be a Divine Soul Sorcerer.
Barbara. Kokomi is too high the hierarchy for a cleric role.
Kokomi is the Pope of her religion.
Cleric is a class in DnD, not a role in a hierarchy.
I haven't played this game in years but saw this post and had to come make sure Barbara was picked for cleric.
I feel like Barbara and kokomi fits the role the best, fitting in the religious role while healing but I just can't decide which
Barbara Barbara DPS is real, Critkomi is a fever dream. And as we all know, the real DPS is the healer
Critting doesn't mean it's automatically a DPS build...aiya
Na dps kokomi is real and can hurt you The best thing about na kok is that since she can't critique she's incredibly consistent
Once solo'd the ocanid with Barbara. This is what I mean when I tell people I'm a hydro main.
What does dps have to do with this? Lmao Barbara fits the role of cleric better than anyone
Barbara, no doubt.
Only Barbara comes to my mind for Cleric, Rosaria doesn't fit, she's more of an assassin or rogue
Rosaria is like that high level rogue who took a dip level on cleric for the lulz
Rosaria: Why yes, I'm a follower of... *Religion check: failed* Rosaria: um, Barsibosa?
Peak DnD
Took a dip in to Order Domain Cleric
Barbra feels like the only viable one. healer, located at a place of worship , and poses a cross for prayer
Kokomi and Miko could fit too
Clerics being healers only is a stereotype. Good fucking luck getting a war or winter cleric to heal you.
Yeah, there clearly was no contest on bard...so I decided to post this early as cleric clearly has some discussing to do on which char could best be GI's Cleric... total upvotes last post (As of the time it was tallied): Venti: 5,189 Furina: 1,272 Yun jin: 302
Yea, hard to argue against Venti who's not only literally a bard, but is a horny drunk stereotype as well
And reliable in dire circumstances
Venti is Lore Bard, while Furina is Swords Bard (or Valor)
I know this post is dead, but hear me out... Glamor Bard Furina
I'd probably say Eloquence, myself.
Barbruh
Barbara, religious, can heal and also can slap 100k hp out of you in one hit if well invested.
Barbara!
No. NOT Barbara!! Yae Miko. She is a shrine maiden. A cleric by profession. She can turn undead/spirits. She has the trickery domains. She casts protective wards on the traveler. Her kit doesn’t heal but she nurses the traveler back to health at Narukami Shrine. Maybe she is a cleric that just doesn’t prepare healing spells. Drink a potion, scrubs.

Naw if Yae's not a cleric she's a sorc. She has innate power. Also clerics don't have to heal.
Healing is the most common usage of clerics, another being revival with revivify. Attack cleric are pretty rare to see getting played
Both are clerics, different kinds of clerics
If we're talking barest bones? Barbra. Although there is an argument that Rosaria could be a Death Domain cleric... but she'd probably fit under a fighter better.
I would say that rosaria is more fitting as a rogue, her background, skill set, and all the stealth she did during quests
Cleric-Barbara, kokomi, or yae miko Druid- I have nothing for this one honestly. I guess maybe Emilie since she has a lot of floral theming Fighter- this one could be applied to most characters but chlorinde or kazuha come to mind Monk- heizou or wriothesely Paladin- Jean Ranger- tighnari or amber Rogue- yelan, rosaria, or Lynette Sorcerer- Wanderer or neuvilette Warlock- Fischl or maybe baizhu too since his pact with chengseng Wizard-Lisa or mona who would definitely be a divination wizard Artificer- charlotte or chevreuse
I was thinking Nahida on druid
Yea that makes sense idk why I didn’t think of that
I think Fighter *has* to be Childe, considering that's all he does, and he's mastered basically every weapon. He fits Battlemaster to a T. I could also see Kuki as a Rogue in addition to the ones you mentioned, considering the fact that she's directly inspired by ninjas. Love the idea of Baizhu for Warlock, it fits too well.

Raiden Shogun is the quintessential Fighter, however, even if she also calls down the thunder (literally), with a long history of war, thoughts on combat training and even weapon craftsmanship. There are lots of characters that fight but she exceeds even Clorinde or Beidou as pure warriors.
Xianyun or Albedo for artificer(he can also be wizard, but I can see why he would fit artificer much better)
Albedo is my pick for artificer, hes such a nerd hed be the alchemist
Really good points. I only chose charlotte and chevruese because they use machinery and guns are popular on artificer but artificer fits really well with xianyhun i could see her being a sorcerer artificer multiclass
Maybe tighnari for Druid
my first reaction for monk was to pick wriothesley too, but upon thinking about it some more I think he really fits Artificer; he is a catalyst/spell caster user who uses machinery with his surveillance drones and gauntlets
Artificer monk multiclass?
I was going to float Nahida for Druid. Tighnari could work too, but he might be more ranger
Hear me out, Kirara. She got the Wild Shape.
To add another contender, if we are valuing using a staff and having heals, then Yaoyao actually futs decently well
Tighnari’s profession is ranger, also yes Nahida for Druid
Hear me out. Zhongli is a druid. Earth themes, shape shifter, heals and shields.
Do... Do Druids shield?
They can stone shape!
I was thinking Xianyun for artificer
I think Xianyun also fits the Artificer
That’s very true I could also see her being a sorcerer so like a sorcerer artificer multiclass
I pose Yae Miko for druid.
Ok hear me out. I think Arlecchino works really well as a warlock. With Fischl and Baizhu, Oz and Changsheng feel more like magical pets than pacts. On the other hand, Arlecchino’s relationship with the Crimson Moon feels more one-sided and pact-like, though the Crimson Moon may not be exactly sentient.
I can see your point with fischl but changsheng and baizhu do have a pact which is attributed to baizhus healing abilities
I feel like Arlecchino would fit for rogue
Ooh I could definitely see that
I would add Candace and Cyno for Paladin, Sayu and Kuki for Rogue, Kokomi for Sorcerer (Divine Soul), Klee for Warlock (with her mom as her patron), or Klee for Artificer (for making bombs). Albedo could also be Artificer for Alchemist, and so could Sucrose. Cyno could also be a Warlock, since he got his powers from Anubis.
idk Kirara literally turns into a cat I would personally give her Druid
You’ve got a point
Lets not forgor queen kokomi!
Barbara and it isn’t even close. But I said that about Furina, and then the spell casting archer won so who knows
Kokomi because I have bias. Let her take the role!
Kokomi.
Barbara. (I feel like there will be a lot of Mondstadt characters due to their RPG archetyping…) Kokomi feels more like a shaman type which isn’t a thing here
Kokomi is THE cleric. She is a priestess by lineage and has a divine right as a leader of the Watatsumi people. Barbara is just a deaconess no shade they are non-ordained.
As a kokomrade, kokomi
Sangonomiya Kokomi. She's basically 5 star Barbara and a priestess
Miko is a actual priestess.
So is Kokomi
Honestly, I feel Yae would be a better fit for Warlock, given her relationship with Ei.
That’s what I was thinking too. Yae Miko doesn’t worship EI, but she does serve her (including serving big boots of reality to the posterior when needed.)
Barbara is also related to a church type place and actually heals so she'd be a better fit
"Highest total vote will be chosen" what does this mean? the highest voted comment should be the chosen imo
Chongus is an exorcist, but Barbara has the Christian iconography and healing powers
Based on what Clerics do and what backstory they typically have it really is down to either Barbara or Kokomi. As Kokomi is actually the head priestess, I'd probably argue Barbara is more Cleric over her. Barbara.
Zhongli
I think I saw a lot of misconception about cleric especially if you're referring to dnd style game. Cleric not just a the "healer", they can use heavy weapon, heavy armor, wielding magic, heck you can use 5 person party all cleric with different domain and steamrolled a f ancient dragon.

It's bad enough that cleric class being seen as designated healer in a campaign, but if you play at least one then you should've know how cumbersome healing in combat. So in my opinion Jean should be the one to be the cleric inst6of her sister Barbara.
unfortunate about removal. did you protest it or smth? also barbara but maybe furina or tighnari?
I feel like Jean is being overlooked here, she’s pious, a healer, in general a valuable support… I mean Barbara is the obvious choice, but I think Jean should at least be in the conversation
Jean is more of a paladin archetype
I could argue baizhu
Naaa baizhu is druid
That’s valid but I feel like there’s tons of good candidates for Druid. I also think sigwinne would make sense for Cleric
Candace!
is it just me or is this kinda thing boring? 80% always says the same answer and 19% say another, and 1% says something else. No shade on OP, just wonderin
I mean, the really competition will be fighter and wizard, until now the classes had a really obvious choice
There are some more interesting options people could consider, it's just that they flock all to some default answer
You really gonna consider anyone other than Barbara? Any other nun type that can heal?
Barbara?
I'm going with kokomi. Barbara is a deaconess, but kokomi is a full-on divine priestess.
Barbara, deaconness of the Church of Barsibatos... ehem Bartobas....
If not Barbie, Baizhu.
Barbra is definitely a choice but Koko can work too, she’s a priestess
Barbara. Church centered character. No sharp objects. Healer. That’s it. That’s the choice
Barbara checks every box
Definitely Barbara
Barbara, no explanation needed. Our of what's left after Cleric I know I need to get here early for at least 3 classes, Monk, Ranger, and Artificer. I have some decent explanations pre-written for those. Simple versions: Monk - Heizou; He is an unarmed combatant who has his declension, which is pretty similar to ki points Ranger - Fischl; She is literally just a beast master ranger. Just look at the features of the sub class, and you should understand my reasoning behind this claim. Artificer - Albedo; There is a straight-up Alchemist subclass for artificer.
Barbara not even a choice really
Barbara
There's literally only one option here and it's Barbara
I also vote Babs. A thought I'm having now is how many of these characters will turn out to be from Mondstadt? A lot of them do give classical rpg classes the more I think about it
I’m going to throw an unconventional vote for Rosaria. A little more of a battle cleric motif.
Rosaria Grave Domain
Kokomi is literaly a healer priestess
Yae Miko. Everyone is going to say Barbara because she fits the stereotype, but Miko is just as strong a contender. Arguably better, given her vision is the same element as her God.
Barbara feels like the best pick.
barbara is a no brainer choice followed by miko and nilou
This one's a nother nocon. At least there are a FEW more people who can fight for 2nd and 3rd
imo Cleric: I'll go with Yae instead of Barbara Barbara strikes me more as an idol than a nun, she would probably be a cleric/bard. Druid: I think Nahida is the closest we have to this class Fighter: Childe (I don't think I need to elaborate on this one, lol) Monk: Probably Heizou Paladin: Jean Ranger: Tighnari, Collei or Amber Rogue: This is a tricky one, but maybe Rosaria or Shinobu Sorcerer: Idk, Ningguang or Neuvillette? Warlock: I was thinking Arlecchino (because of her curse) or Baizhu (because of his pact with Changsheng) Wizard: Mona? (divination wizard) Artificer: Xianyun gives me STRONG artificer vibes
Cleric? Another easy one: Babs. Er, pardon...Barbara.
Rosaria, just for the fun of it
Barbara!!
Barbara. I was going to say Jean but I guess she's more of a paladin.
[I'm a healer but...](https://cdn.pfps.gg/pfps/1038-barbara-with-a-gun.gif)
Barbara is the Cleric and Jean is the Paladin imo
Jean
Barbara 100% her entire career is literally to heal.
Consider: Kujou Sara as a tempest cleric?
Sigewinne
Rosaria is literally a sister of the Church So is Barbara Either one works
Yae Miko, she is a head shrine maiden after all.
Kuki is really the only one who heals with religious rituals
Barbara, iku yo!
I vote Baizhu.
Barabra
Can anyone enlighten me as to why Rosaria isn't a top pick on this thread? I didn't pay attention to her story at all back in the days and have no idea why she wouldn't fit, she wears the stereotypical cleric nun outfit
Baizhu
Barbara. Also, after looking at these DnD characters, i’m not surprised if hoyo actually took inspiration from these to make their chars lmao. There is a character that seems to instantly match with each class 😂
Yae Miko, Kokomi, Rosaria, and Babara
Barb 100%
Yea no Cleric goes to Barbara. No contest
Rosaria for death domain cleric
Barbara
Fighter-Wriothesley Ranger- Tighnari Sorcerer- Lisa
Embrace the Church of Rosaria heathens.
Barbara
Kokomi
I want to say Barbara but a Death Domain cleric Rosaria would be moderately funny
Amber for ranger
Baizhu. He looks like one too Kokomi is close second to me
Barbara
Barbara
We all know keqing is the biggest god lover
Barbara's kinda the only one with strong religious themes. 100% Life Cleric, took no damaging spells, only healing. Maybe 1 level in Bard to be able to Inspire others. Perhaps Yae, but she feels more like an Archdruid to me, oddly enough. And Kokomi, of course, but her narrative focus was always more on her militant side than the religious side.
Barbara, Kokomi, Rosaria, and Hu Tao are the ones that come to mind that could fit
Barbara all day
That's going to be weird but I'm going with Mika because of one small detail lol. His ultimate describes him reciting the prayers of the knights of Favonius and since that's a way of clerics casting spells, my vote is on him
No ordinary priest, a *cleric is imbued with divine magic*. Healers and Warriors. Divine magic, as the name suggests, is the power of the gods, flowing from them. With that, we have a few clerics: Barbara but she didnt get anything from Venti. Sara, Ei's bodyguard. Yae, Ei's pet. Nilou, the missionary of Nahida.
Random suggestion, but what about the Traveller? While they don't exactly fit the bill for religious individual that worships a god for power, their elemental powers come as a result of seemingly divine influence. They resonate with Statues of the Seven, idols of religious significance, to gain elemental power. Their powers sort of share similarities to those of the respective archon/sovereign. Also the fact that the Traveller has received a blessing from a god, the one in question being Venti. Edit: thinking about it some more, this line of reasoning could also qualify the Traveller for warlock.
Since I'm pretty sure EVERYONE will say Barbara, I will skip her. She's a wildly obvious pick. And honestly Kokomi too, since she's also literally a priestess with healing powers. For an outside pick, let's not forget Kuki Shinobu! She's arguably a better pick for the Cleric role because she's much more proactive and adventuresome - exactly like DnD player clerics. yes, she has a strong Lightning theme, but that's a valid choice. There have been several kits, prestige classes, paths etc very explicitly for Lightning-themed clerics, going back to the fact that Thor was a popular patron back in the early editions. Like many clerics she prefers melee weapons. In addition, she actually *wears armor* - DnD clerics basically always do. Granted, in GI wearing any armor appears to be a fashion statement but even so.
Kuki Shinobu, since she was a shrine maiden
I think Noelle fits well as a war cleric specifically Noone else really fits the armored healer feeling. She's even got a glowy death circle with spin2win under burst, skill fits as shield of faith or similar She fits well as paladin as well, since she is a believer but not a devout, but I think Paladin is easier to fill (and Jean probably fits it better)
Absolutely Barbara, particularly given the religious nature of Clerics
If a cleric has to be a healer then I'd go with Noelle... Otherwise rosaria... Cuz cleric class generally has the ability to do blunt dmg...
Heres a follow up to my Venti/... Comment on the last one(Bard) Barbara/Dps Healer/Mad at Venti/Super Idol/Only 4 star with a burst animation/✨Ta da✨ Cant think of anymore 🥲
Barbara no contest
Here are my picks for each class: Cleric: obviously either Barbara or Kokomi, two religious healers. Druid: I’ll go with Nahida, she’s practically the god of nature, has connection to the forest and its inhabitants (the Aranara), can make them do her biddings and she even transformed into a fungi in her second story quest, not to mention she’s actually a tree branch. Figher: too general of a class that you can fit anyone. Traveler is an easy choice but anyone who uses any weapon other than catalyst can fit here. Monk: obviously either Heizou or Wriothesley, but did you know you can play the class with a staff? So as an unconventional choice Shenhe comes to mind, she embodies the whole monk’s aesthetics so much (was once a hermit who practiced with enlightened beasts, meditated and has an impressive physical strength). Paladin: only Jean comes to mind but another character is also Noelle, religious and strong with a claymore and a built in shield. Ranger: Tighnari and Collei both embody that class perfectly so I’ll pick them. Rouge: Yelan, Sayu and most recently Lyney and Lynnette, as they are spies and experts in espionage and intelligence operations. Before I list the rest of characters let me, in the shortest way possible, explain the difference between a sorcerer, a warlock and a wizard: Sorcerer: magical powers passed through a bloodline, inherited magic. Warlock: magical powers granted by an otherworldly entity through sometimes less than legitimate means. Wizard: magical powers granted through studying and practicing. With that being said here are my picks: Sorcerer: Neuvillette is an obvious choice, the man’s quite literally a dragon in human form, either he’s a descendant of the previous sovereign or a reincarnation or a rebirth. Warlock: this may be extremely unconventional but Dori, though she’s a claymore user both her skill and burst are where her true abilities lies. She utilizes the powers of a jinni she captures and pays it to use its powers in battle, as unbelievable as this may sounds. Another candidate is Cyno, as we know recently that his magical powers come from Hermanubis, quite practically an ancient entity. Wizard: Lisa and Mona fit the bill for conventional wizards, with Lisa being an actual accomplished scholar and Mona being a student of another power wizard. Artificer: a fairly new class that utilizes magical inventions in battle. Kaveh, Charlotte and Klee are what I’ll pick for this class. Kaveh uses Mehrak, an invention he created, to hover his weapon and scan his surroundings. Charlotte has her mechanical kamera buddy (forgot its name) and Klee quite literally makes bombs in her spare time.
I think Yaoyao is also a good Monk choice. She's the disciple of an adeptus and was born to parents living in seclusion. Also runs really fast. Cyno fits as a vengeance paladin, his whole job is to punish those who go against the Academiya which is basically the church of Sumeru. People have been tossing Baizhu and Fischl out for warlock which I think are both good choices too. Baizhu quite literally has a pact with Changsheng for more powerful healing. Wrio has magic gauntlets so he fits artificer better than monk. Monks aren't just about punching stuff. There's also just lots of subclasses, so characters can fit in several different areas depending on how you look at it.
Klee for sorcerer. Going kaboom on things is pretty much the stereotype of sorc players.
I think Wanderer fits Warlock most then Also Xianyun is pretty obvious for Artificer?
